This Sugar Bear quilt is the work of one of my fav This Sugar Bear quilt is the work of one of my fave quilters who helps so much with my patterns @thequiltdr . I love Lisa’s jewel tone version of #sugarbearquilt , those hedgehogs! I also love how she did the corners of all her blocks. 🥰

I’m still new with this ruler work. This might b I’m still new with this ruler work. This might be the third quilt I’ve given a go with it. It is painfully slow (or at least on a domestic it is) but it’s hard to not see that it adds so much. This ruler work of mine is by no means perfect, but I definitely see a little growth. I finished a couple days ago and started on the free motion (my fave, swipe to see). I’ve been working on my skills at this for not two years yet, and it fINALLY looks like the clumsy clunky me I have complained about so often has been semi-replaced with a more confident me. This feels so good. 🤎 I’m loving the work on this #sugarbearquilt . 🤎 The only way to this place tho was through, with all the palm face moments, all the annoying mistakes, all the cringeing. I’ve said before that all the “ugly” quilts are so worthwhile. Ha!
🤎
 I get a lot of messages and emails about FMQ. I have a small series on the blog (tutorials>FMQ). One day I’ll chat about the ruler work on there, but I just need more practice before I do. Still there are several tutorials if you are interested.
🤎
I have about a 1/4 left of the quilt to finish with the free motion. I’m adding feathers, succulents and elongated curls. I’m enjoying myself and I hope to finish today. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
This is the work of the lovely talented @tracylouk This is the work of the lovely talented @tracyloukota . She’s testing #sugarbearquilt for me. 🥰 I just wanted to show you how fun the quilt can look with an emphasis on fussy cutting and with a scrappy LV background. 
🤎
The pattern releases 3/8. And the quilt along begins 3/17. The pattern is currently available as a pre-order in paper format. 
🤎
Alright, now let’s gush about how cute those fussies are and how Tracy is killing it!! 😍🥰💗🐻🌸👌🏻👏🏻🐻
I have so enjoyed the #anthologieqa . I wanted to I have so enjoyed the #anthologieqa . I wanted to take a moment to thank you all who participated and who made this quilt with me. Your kindness, encouragement and love to myself and others meant so much. Big hugs! 🤎
There are three bundles on the blog today for #mon There are three bundles on the blog today for #mondayisallaboutfabric . 1️⃣ Funshine is our first bundle for Sugar Bear and it’s meant to look like mine. 2️⃣ is @beelori1 ‘s Bee Cross Stitch. Such yummy colors! 3️⃣ is Woodland Walk from @nathalie_lete . The sparrows are just 👌🏻. Just in case you like to know these things, they fit perfectly in a 4.5” fussy cut.

Most of my weekend was spent working on the quilting for my Sugar Bear. It’s slow going. The ruler work went better Sunday than Saturday. I’ll show more later in stories.

Find all my scrappy quilts here.       We are at the second part of this series and the focus today is cutting and storing.  I feel like the way you handle your scraps is very personal.  You will be the one using them after all, so only you know how they need to be stored and what way to do that best works for you.  However, if you are sitting there with all...
